Growing & Maintenance Tips for Lysimachia ciliata
Lysimachia ciliata thrives in moist to wet, rich, organic soils, preferring acidic conditions (pH below 6.8). It does best in part shade to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens or shaded areas. Ensure it receives medium to high water, as it can tolerate seasonal flooding. This resilient plant is cold-tolerant, so it can withstand cooler temperatures without issue. Regularly check soil moisture to keep it consistently damp, and you’ll enjoy its vibrant presence throughout the growing season!
